"However, due to demonetisation there is a dearth of currency notes but for the convenience of farmers, Reserve Bank ofIndiahas ensured facility of withdrawal of Rs 25,000 per week to farmers from their account. The same facility has been extended to farmers holding Kisan Credit Cards also," the minister said.

Moreover,there is also facility of withdrawal up to Rs 2.5 lakh cash for wedding, he added.

"As far as the issue of demonetisation is concerned, it is not a state issue hence discussion cannot be held on it in the House. The government is committed towards purchasing paddy from 14.55 lakh registered farmers," the minister said, adding it was incorrect to state that anarchy is prevailing in the state.

Subsequently, speaker Agrawal rejected the adjournment motion notice.

Unsatisfied with the ruling, the Congress started raising anti-government slogans and its members entered the well of the House, following which they were automatically suspended as per the rules.
